How are these with bunions?

These inserts offer cushion and support, as for bunions I do not believe they would alleviate the pain. My experience has been that any pressure on a bunions ( no matter how much cushion) I will still feel the pain. So as to this product specifically for bunions , this would probably not be the best choice; as for comfort support with high heels only, these work great. Hope this helps.

I had bunion surgery and my bandage was huge. My foot size is 7 (not including the bandage and I had no problem at all. These protectors are a God-send. I only wish I had had it with my first surgery where my husbnd wrapped it each day with a big baggy, etc. These protectors do not allow any water in whatsoever. You have to pull the top with your hands and then easily glide your foot toes first inside. Best thinkg ever invented! MJ

I do not use the bunion guard.I found it uncomfortable to wear.I bought what the dancers wear to protect their toes when they are toe dancing.It covers the bunion area if I pull it to the side.

I've stretched them quite a bit and haven't had any problems -- I am careful though to not step on them with anything that might nick them. I love them!

They are great. wear them all the time with mine. Sometimes you have to make sure one is on top of the other, but it's not uncomfortable or awkward at all....even when doing activity/running,etc.

These aren't meant to fix the bunion, but to just slow down the progression. I wear them to help align my wayward big toe and for the extra cushioning it provides my bunion. In this aspect, it most definitely helps!

I used these after my bunion surgery. Think about where your own bunion pressure points are. You may need to consult a dr.

Yes, they fit into heels/ pumps but the bunion guards are terrible -- they don't fit snugly and they don't stay in place so it's totally not effective. At most it's just a 'padding' between your bunion spot and the inside of the shoe.

I use these bunion guards every day, in all my shoes - especially my boots. I am a size 9.5 or 10, and these guards are about twice as long as I need. They basically sculpt themselves abound your bunion. As they only attach to your big toe (the silicone is very elastic!), there should be no problem fitting your 12-13 foot. I love these bunion guards, and they allow me to wear high heels and boots again! Definitely try them!!!

My daughter is 9 and can wear the orthotics in most of her shoes, but she cannot wear them in loafer type shoes without the shoe feeling like it's falling off when she walks. It does push her foot up just enough that the heel of the shoe does not stay on properly. However, in all her loafer type shoes WITH straps, sneakers and boots they are just fine. These do look thick in the picture, but the portion the heel sits on is not that thick. The thick portion seen is the part that slopes up and around the outside edge of the heel, and is about 1/2", but the portion the heel actually sits on is less than 1/4". These were the best that I found that seem to give good, proper arch support, and that are sized to fit into her shoes. Hope this helps! :)

I can say that you can wear these with sandals. I wouldn't wear them inside shoes. It is tight and there are plenty of other options to use them. I do say that it is a pleasure wearing the stretchers bear foot.

I run and bike with them on. Main worry from what I read is sweat but I have not run into a problem yet. I just try not to sweat directly on them.

It is pretty good. They are a stiff boot. It has a buckle on the ankle area so you can tighten it up per your needs.

I found them pretty comfortable. I wore them all day once and they felt good. the boot seems to have some padding to cushion your feet. Word of warning, since they are plastic, the top of the boot can rub against your leg. So I would recommend wearing a legging or pants inside the boot.

These don't provide much of an arch support, but I have a bunion on my left foot and they're wide enough to allow for that, even with socks. Depending on the severity of your bunion, these may be fine for you.

No, they do not stretch. They tend to run a bit small. I wear a size 7 1/2 and the 8 fits me perfectly. They also tend to be wide. As I have a bunion, I wear mine more than any other footwear. These boots are more like a gum-rubber and have a lot of *give*. The colors have faded on the ones I have had for 3 years but I love them. Very good grip on wet surface and grass.

I wear an 8 1/2 medium, but bought an 8. I have a bunion that frequently rubs, but this are loose fitting and flexible. They are really comfortable.
